Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz today - Roland Garros Men's semi-finals Friday 9th June 2023

[Fatty Foggon]

Should be a cracker.
On Eurosport from 13:45 on.

Looking forward to catching bits of it whilst working.

Great player but surprised by how short Alcaraz' odds are considering it's against Djokovic

[MacAdder]

Don't follow the tennis a lot but I don't think I've ever heard of Alcaraz.

He must be some player and the next tennis superstar?

I've watched Alcaraz in most of his matches, he is athletic and some of the drop shots he produces are sublime. He will definitely try to make Novak run around. Youth against experience, and be interesting how wily Djokovic plays him.

He's not my favourite either, knows all the tricks.
Would be a cracking footballer in one of Mourinho's teams.

No doubting his class though, on of the all time greats.

Shame I can't watch it today, catch him again at Wimbledon

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Starting now. Feels big this. They've only played against each other once before. It was last year and Alcaraz won a very close match.

Can Novak escape from Alcaraz?

Only because he got injured….he was right back in it at at one set all

Ah really, that's a shame

[Fatty Foggon]

Spanish cramps leads to Serbian win. The match was quite well balanced until the 'injury'

[Heathblue]

The GOAT delivers.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

It was an amazing first two sets. Such a shame. Is it a bit worrying that Alcaraz cramped up so early? Djokovic is twice his age and has played 4 more hours of tennis than him this tournament. Either way, we got to see one of the best shots since Federer last did it:

Djokovic, 36, faces Norway's Casper Ruud, 24, in the men's singles final at the French Open on Sunday 13:30 Eurosport.

With the win by Djokovic today, the GOAT title isn't for debate now, it's a FACT isn't it ?
